Private Autism Diagnosis
Anyone with autism? Trying to get a diagnosis, but my doctor refused to even consider me having autism, and he just said: you have acute anxiety and it is expected to pass …. Would you accept this or go private for a diagnosis? Thank you for answers, can someone tell me how many sessions it might take to diagnose autism with a private psychiatrist?
From what you saying, your symptoms do not resemble autism or Asperger’s to me. I do not really know why would you want a diagnosis SPECIFICATION, where most people (of any type) with problems go to doctors and then, the doctors determine what the patients should or should not be diagnosed with.
Anyway, if you really had Asperger’s, you’d have many of the following symptoms: - difficulties with: non-verbal communication, gestures, tone of voice, posture, facial expressions - stuttering and hesitating / difficulty with small talk - logical/objective view of everything, difficulty seeing how things come across from others’ point(s) of view - intense (or, obsessional) interest/fascination for a narrow/specific subject area - knowledge/interest of a specific subject area without regard for it’s proper context - aloof / deep / up-in-the-clouds way of thinking - delayed communication (i.e. took longer to talk/socialize/etc) - hyper-sensitivity (i.e. can’t tolerate loud noise or bright lights) - ritualistic routines / obsessive-compulsive traits / can’t cope with not knowing what to expect - odd behaviors/habits/thinking/ - excessive daydreaming / in a world of your own.
There are probably some other symptoms I missed, but anxiety/depression is often a result of what comes with the social difficulties. People with such symptoms struggle, if not fail to fit in - they often experience bullying and rejection and therefore may go through anger, depression, bitterness, social anxiety, and the like.
Bottom line is, if the only symptoms you have are social anxiety / depression, then you are far better off dealing with those issues as they are. Being diagnosed with something like autism has major drawbacks.
This is a biggest , together with over 30,000 info items resource for all special needs, together with autism, down syndrome and other disabilities. The symptoms of social anxiety or depression are a lot easier to deal with than being labeled with autism.
